Weightloss - The science experiment





Figuring out what works and what doesn't for weightloss is like playing with your chemistry set.  What works for one person may not work for another and things that worked months ago, may not be the same now...Its alot of trial and error.  Also sometimes it's just weird.


So I have flavor cravings...It's rare I want food,  its usually I want salt or sugar or tart.  Once the craving has been satisfied I'm ok, usually I'm ok for a while.

Add to this I'm a creature of habit and I have the same flavors every morning.  Breakfast is an egg white omelet with chopped broccoli, onion and cheddar cheese.....and 2 sausages...I know its alot of sodium, probably bad for me, but it hasn't broken anything and when I don't have it..I notice....Take note of that last point.

So I go to get breakfast ...I left my wallet at home.  I ended up ordering from  a diner via paypal and no sausage....I eat..but for an hour I just feel like something is missing. I'm sure this is just a weird creature of habit thing, but its irking me.  I ended up ordering corn beef hash and eating it....I was great, but it bothers me I NEEDED to taste the salt.   Blah

I also ordered a bagel with cream cheese and lox.  I ate half the bagel...I realized part of my cravings or hunger in the early afternoon was due to not eating enough. If I had had my normal breakfast I would have gotten toast. I'm curious if I'll see a bump tomorrow.The other side of that is I think I'm a little too attached to the scale so I may not get on again till Monday to see what kind of damage has been wrought over the holiday weekend.

Also as of right now I really want some sushi..on a want scale of 1-10 I'm at about a 4.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest.

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
